In our store they were in the middle aisle. The packaging has changed, they look like Greek style packaging. Delicious
Quoting myself because I'm worried I've got your hopes up 😬 maybe they are a completely different garlic crisp?! They were still delicious 🤣 Sorry if I've got it wrong

I've been getting into Aldi and Lidl more recently, and broadly speaking it's been positive.

But I fancied some Strawberry ice cream, so I bought a tub in Aldi, just had some and it so the most disgusting vile tasting ice cream. It's got a poor grainy texture. But worse is the flavour. It's so chemically. Not even a fake strawberry chemical flavour, just chemical. It's nasty. It's going straight in the bin. Extremely disappointed by it.

I don’t like Aldi ice cream I also find it grainy. I’m not sure what the ingredients are in the strawberry ice cream, but the cream in many ice cream has been replaced with oils/ coconut oil.

Lidl’s Bon Gelati strawberry ice cream is nice, really creamy. Their version of Ben and Jerrys chocolate brownie and snickers rip off ice cream bars are good too. https://www.lidl.co.uk/p/bon-gelati-ice-cream/p10028129

I agree with @pecan that Aldi’s ice cream is generally crap. The exception for me is their vanilla ice cream but only this one!

Having had my fridge freezer pack in in this heatwave I've had to farm out my freezer stuff until I got another fridge freezer.
Unfortunately my Frickles have had to go too, and to the person who had them at my house and loved them.
What's the betting my freezer stuff come back frickleless - especially as it's a bloke......🤷‍♀️😥

For comparison purposes I will obviously need to try the Lidl ones......😏😉

I am so annoyed - I agreed to wait in for BT Engineer to do whatever he has to do with the new phone stuff etc. as I wasn't doing anything else but now I have to go Aldi for these crisps. Bugger. Hope he comes early.

Don't hold out much hope. I discovered the last bag mixed in with a load of other crisps.
Good luck!
No sign of any in Lidl.
Also Lidl's tills are going a bit funny. Wanted to charge me over £100 for a very small shop. Turned out it had charged me 49 times for one item. It's also not registering that you've been there so ask for a receipt to cover yourself.

Loving the Lidl Greek food, am on my second pot of the shredded cabbage in less than a week 😂😂

No issues with the tills on Lidl other than an over zealous member of staff on the self service tills taking my receipt (whilst I was packing my shopping) screwing it up and chucking it in the bin 😱 Good job I'd checked it was correct as I was scanning!

I don't have the counter space in this place for one but that it is an incredible alternative to the cult appliance. Even allowing for the need to interact with it more, a grand less is immense.
I didn't even know they were doing a stick vacuum cleaner that washes the floor too!
My local Lidl was beautiful when it opened. It had a lovely atmosphere, wide aisles and air conditioning, but has since been ruined by the mob, who descend and throw things all over the place, so it is no longer pleasure to visit.
It's like going to a bad jumble sale.🙄

"Thedailydish - Gina Daly " on insta reviewed it if you wanna have a look.. it's a good few rows down on her grid..

It's still a good few 100 euros... Cant remember exactly...

Just checked its €500 .
I think when I read it it said £299 for Lidl appers and a extra £100 for the rest.
